How many of us can picture a skinnier person when we look in the mirror? Or save a beautiful blouse or pants in the hope that one day you reach your goal and be able to wear them again. I used to be that person. But as time went by, I realized that was not going to happen.
I was the person that was always overweight as I grew older. But as time went by, I have found that you need to change your way of thinking about yourself. I found that works miracles.
I also find that when you see food differently, for example, you go to a restaurant, then pick something that you would like to eat, you are excited about tasting the desert you have chosen. You have been anticipating the creamy taste of chocolate, whip cream pie, and as you have it right in front of you, what are your thoughts as you are ready to taste this pie that you have been waiting for, desiring, drooling over?
“Ohhh my god it tastes like heaven.” Or “thru my lips forever on my hips.”
If you picked the first answer you are heading in the right direction but if you picked the second then that is what will happen. It all depends on your attitude toward food, not only on food but on life itself.
I would also tell myself “I can eat anything and everything and still weigh 155.”
What about comments like “this is going to make me fat” or “that has a lot of calories”?
I kept these negative words out of my thoughts, and I did lose the weight. You will be surprised how strong our minds and will are. Be positive and look into your future. See yourself how you want to look and it will come to be.
I’m not saying you have to stop eating your favorite foods, you can eat it all in moderation.
One important thing to always remember is this. “Never tell yourself you are on a diet.” Because then your body will overreact and you start craving things you didn’t even think about eating until you said that ugly word “Diet.”
Plus, being positive and knowing the weight you want, will come to be, because you are not worried about what you are eating.
You also tell your body to, “take the nutrients it needs from the food you are eating and get rid of the rest.”
Once you are full, stop eating.
I remember mom would say, “eat all your food on your plate there are starving children that don’t have any”.
Don’t feel guilty if you leave your food on your plate, it is out of your control, there is nothing you can do about it.
I was 360 pounds and I used this method to lose weight and have kept my weight down. My family has always seen me fat, but when one of my uncles saw me skinny he asked my sister if I was dying because he had never seen me that thin before.
